An Eric Kohn interview with Telluride head honcho Julie Huntsinger is as sprightly as one might expect when chatting with Julie. She’s truly a delight. However, she didn’t hold back when it came to her Venice counterpart Alberto Barbera. Huntsinger is clearly irked by his competitive nature and how he might have stolen a few films that she really wanted at her festival: We’ll maybe never know what films were being pursued by Huntsinger that inevitably got vetoed by Barbera. Some of the missing “Oscar-bait” that was conspicuously absent from today’s Telluride announcement include Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” Florian Zeller’s “The Son,” Bill Pohlad’s “Dreamin’ Wild,” Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde,” Joanna Hogg’s “The Eternal Daughter,” and Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin.” Contribute Hire me
